Ocean waves are huge, large untapped energy resources and the potential for extracting energy from waves is considerable. A wave energy converter converts the mechanical energy obtained from ocean waves to generate electricity. Researches in generation of electricity using waves are driven for the need to meet electricity demand but it is relatively immature when compared to other types of renewable energy based electricity production. This proposed study aims to develop a prototype that can utilize the wave energy to produce electricity.
